FELIX NECK WILDLIFE SANCTUARY RECEIVES WILDLIFE RESEARCH GRANT Zoe Turcotte, from Lisbon Falls, Maine, will be the Ecological Science Intern for Felix Neck for the summer of 2009. Passionate about wildlife, Turcotte recently graduated from Unity College in Unity, Maine, with a Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Biology. Turcotte will help to conduct research and monitoring activities and coordinate with citizen science volunteers to assist with these research projects. Citizen science depends on the research of dedicated volunteers working to generate natural history data to further our knowledge of the natural world. The citizen science projects at Felix Neck provide exciting opportunities for volunteers. Volunteers will help gather data for breeding bird, odonate, amphibian, and horseshoe crab monitoring projects. For more information on becoming involved in any of these projects, contact Mass Audubon’s Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary at 508.627.4850. Mass Audubon works to protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. Together with more than 100,000 members, we care for 32,000 acres of conservation land, provide educational programs for 200,000 children and adults annually, and advocate for sound environmental policies at the local, state, and federal levels. Mass Audubon’s mission and actions have expanded since our beginning in 1896 when our founders set out to stop the slaughter of birds for use on women’s fashions. Today we are the largest conservation organization in New England. Our statewide network of 45 wildlife sanctuaries welcomes visitors of all ages and serves as the base for our conservation, education, and advocacy work. To support these important efforts, call 800-AUDUBON (283-8266) or visit www.massaudubon.org. Founded in 1972, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science is a non-profit environmental education and research organization based in Quechee, Vermont. VINS’ mission is to motivate individuals and communities to care for the environment through education, research, and avian wildlife rehabilitation. The Student Conservation Association (SCA), founded in 1957, is a nonprofit organization that offers conservation internships and summer trail crew opportunities to more than 3,800 people each year. SCA's mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of our environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land. ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ |
